Starting out the season with a bang & I love it. Envelope addressing & place cards for a Bride. Addressing for a Custom Clothiers flyer mailing so his VIP clients open his mailing. Adding names to a Family Tree which coincidently has my own Family name on it. Are we related? Sending out quotes for Luxury Brand engraving events & Brides. Also, working with a Bat Mitzvah needing invites & addressing. I provide that. What can I write for you today?

I'm sorry to share this sad news, reported to me by Friends of Calligraphy last evening...

It is with great sadness that I report honorary member of Friends of Calligraphy, Ward Dunham, the man with the knack for black, passed away Saturday, August 24. He was kind, generous, of good report, and reliably irreverent. A founding member of the New York Society of Scribes and the Friends of Calligraphy, Ward taught blackletter hands for decades and was a fixture at many conferences. His early training in Special Forces stressed the importance of keeping on one’s person those things essential for survival. That practice was maintained by Ward for the rest of his life. Included among his essentials were his military survival knife that he would use to craft beautiful bamboo pens, several sources of fire to melt sealing wax, seals, vintage fountain pens, and postcards for his daily practice of writing them to keep touch with his legions of friends worldwide. A true original, he will be remembered and missed by all who knew him.

Luxury Brands call & I say YES! It's a great idea to address brochure envelope in casual style hand calligraphy. Let your clients know how special they are to you. Generate calls, goodwill & forever customers with hand addressed mailings.

Calligraphy is a great meditative art. I went to do Kyudo Archery aka Zen Archery for inspiration. Really enjoyed my time with these people. Stepping out of your usual art comfort zone highly suggested. ✨️
